After a long wait, actor Patrick Garcia finally got his wish.

The young dad met his son, Alex Jazz or AJ for the first time during the birthday celebration of his niece Kendra, daughter of his sister actress-model, Cheska Garcia-Kramer.

The meeting happened June 26, according to the Philippine Entertainment Portal.

To mark the moment, pictures were taken, one of which was proudly posted by the doting aunt on her Twitter account.

“Father and son! Yipee!” she wrote.

Only a few weeks ago, the boy’s mom, actress Jennylyn Mercado, announced her willingness to let father and son meet —a softening on her earlier stance to never let Garcia see his son.

"Puwede siyang dumalaw sa bahay. Oo, puwede siya. Mapag-uusapan naman namin, e [visitations]. Ayoko na nang gumagamit ng media or kahit na ano. Basta, sa amin na lang yun [how to go about it],” she stated in an interview with entertainment show “Startalk.”

"Basta ang gusto ko ngayon, kung tungkol sa amin, kung tungkol sa anak ko, ayoko na ng lumalabas sa kung saan-saan."

The 23-year old made it clear that she is now willing to let bygones be bygones.

"Ayoko ng magtanim ng galit. Past is past. Ayoko nang halungkatin yun at saka... siguro, nasa tamang edad na rin para maintindihan lahat ng nangyari. At saka, hindi na kami bumabata para mag-away pa."

Garcia-Kramer expressed elation upon hearing of Mercado’s statement.

"Talaga? Hindi ko narinig yun, pero, kung ganoon nga, e, di okey, di ba? E, di masaya. I'm sure Patrick will be very happy to know that," said she in a separate interview.

Garcia-Kramer, obviously as excited with the prospect of having the estranged couple patch things up if only for the sake of their son, said:

"I'll let him [Patrick] know. I'll let him know about it. That's nice. That's nice to know. I'm sure, matutuwa yun. Tatalon yun sa tuwa."
